At last a few minutes to craft and post. This is a holiday weekend here and as usaual the weather is not to kind. We manage a trip east on Saturday and caught a glimpse of the sun in Dunfermline, had a lovely lunch and a walk in the park. I even found a small craft shop in the High Street.
Well this card is for the Penny Black challenge colour scheme Chocolate , lemon and pink. These colours conjure up the flavour of Japp deserts, remember those sweets, I love them as a child. The sketch is from Truly Scrumptious with the use of three stamps. Finally Cute Card Thursday is Buzz Off, well not literally!

I used Penny Black 'buzz in the air', My Minds Eye 'Wild asparagus' and a free stamp from Cardmaking and Papercraft mag stamps, DCWV papers, Copic & Promarkers, Nesties & X-Cut flowers punches.

Silver Wedding

I love those little hedgehogs, they are so sweet. I kept this card simple with just a dash of colour.

Another 50th Birthday card

Another 50th birthday card for the same recipient as the last one, so I went for a different look. I have also based it on sketch #11 on Vee's sketch pad.

I used Craft Creation papers, Nesties, Sizzix glasses, Woodware flower punches, McGill leaf punch, Liquid Pearls and the rest from my stash.

50th birthday

A simple card for a 50th birthday but with a bit of punch. This is such an easy design yet becuase of the large flower it really stands out. The good thing is it fits the theme at Charisma cardz 'Flower Power' this week.

I used Woodware large flower punch, X -cut punch, Sea of Sky stamp, Nesties, Cuttlebug dots, Liquid pearls & Dovecraft paper.

Have a look at all the sketches at Vee's sketchpad for some inspiration and leave us some of your cards to view.

2 challenges

A quick post to put this card into 2 challenges. I have been busy with card orders and trying to tidy the garden while the sun is out. We have had so much rain of late that the grass was waterlogged and I had to wait till it drained before cutting it, and of course the weeds seem to thrive regardless.

I made this card for the Sugar Bowl challenge which is the sketch I used and the colours pink and brown. Charisma cards are looking for patchwork and this image has little patches on her trousers, I also added some cross stitches. I hope this counts.

I used Sugar Nellie image, Colored with Copic and Promarkers, Basic gray & DCVW papers, Nesties , Liquid Pearl and X-Cut flower punch

Winter Wonderland

Another Christmas card, this time for the Winter Wonderland sketch, I used my favourite snowman, he comes out the box every year.

I used Funstamp Scribbled Snowman, PM papers, Nesties, Annadoodle greeting, X-cut star punch, Cuttlebug swirls, Kaban glitter and Liquid Pearls.

Truly Scrumptious

I used the sketch on the Truly Scrumptious challenge for this Christmas card. I was really pleased the way this card came together. It is a lovely sketch.

I used one of the free stamps from Cardmaking & Papercraft mag, Nesties, Cuttlebug dots, X-Cut heart and holly punches, PM paper and Craft Creations swirl paper, Liquid Pearls and Stickles.

This card is based on the Sketch Saturday Challenge and also fits the Allsorts challenge of 'Something for the Boys'. I have made this for my sons birthday next month. He loves playing his guitar so I have made this with an image I have had for some time. I can't remember what make it is as I bought it at the SECC a few years ago. In fact most of the materials on this card are unknown from my stash. This is the list of what I have names for.

I used Copics /Promarkers to colour, Sizzlets alphabet, Sizzix music notes, Pebbles chalks, Cuttlebug and Liquid Pearls.
